What bought you to Colchester? What is your background?
My husband and I moved to Colchester two and a half years ago from East London, because we couldn't afford to buy a house where we were. We liked the arts and culture scene in Colchester and thought it would be a great place to raise our son. I loved the fact that there were lots of performing arts spaces and local events as my background is in theatre, music and dance (I went to the BRIT School of Performing Arts) so Colchester felt like a good fit for us. My husband and I started working as vintage buyers 8 years ago and we love what we do. We have supplied many vintage items to different industries, including props and costume for theatre and TV and interiors for shops and restaurants. We often find beautiful vintage items which are damaged or broken which breaks my heart, and I had a brainwave to repurpose these items into something new and modern to give them a new life... and The Indie Folk was born.
I thought that Colchester would be the prime place to make my creations as there is such an indie art scene in the area, and a community that I wanted to be part of. My little business hasn't been around for too long and I've already met some really lovely local people through what I make.
Tell us some more about your business and your vision for the company.
My business takes damaged vintage clothing and jewellery and repurposes it into new items. For Christmas, I have been working on tree decorations, including angels and soldiers. But I have ideas and plans for all year round and I can't wait to get to work on some of the other ideas I've got stored up!
What do you like about running a business in Colchester?
I like the fact I can make my business fit around spending time with my son, and our other work commitments.
What is your fabourite place to eat/drink in town right now?
I absolutely love Sip and Tuck! I found out earlier this year that I'm gluten intolerant and to find somewhere that I can go out to eat where I don't have to worry about what's on the menu is amazing! It helps that the interior is beautiful too. I love the reclaimed gym flooring!
It's not much of a 'best kept secret' but I absolutely love the galleries and museums in Colchester. Firstsite is the perfect place to get lost for a couple of hours, the Natural History Museum has great activities for kids and The Minories is just beautiful with some amazing exhibitions (make sure you stop by the gift shop for some amazing bits and bobs from local artists- myself included!) I also love popping to Colchester Arts Centre for their quirky show timetable- I've seen some great shows there!

I'm a self taught artist that got into painting murals to support my family. I've been fortunate to have been commissioned to produce murals for clients in many countries, including Japan, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Russia, America and, of course, Canada. I work in a variety of styles, from realism, impressionism to abstract. I draw a lot of inspiration from the natural world and love painting directly from Nature. That's why I live here.

Materials scientists, polymer chemists, surface physicists and materials engineers will find this book a complete and detailed treatise on the field of polymer brushes, their synthesis, characterization and manifold applications. In a first section, the various synthetic pathways and different surface materials are introduced and explained, followed by a second section covering important aspects of characterization and analysis in both flat surfaces and particles. These specific surface initiated polymerization (SIP) systems such as linear polymers, homopolymers, block copolymers, and hyperbranched polymers are unique compared to previously reported systems by chemisorption or physisorption. They have found their way in both large-scale and miniature applications of polymer brushes, which is covered in the last section. Such 'hairy' surfaces offer fascinating opportunities for addressing numerous problems of both academic and, in particular, industrial interest: high-quality, functional or protective coatings, composite materials, surface engineered particles, metal-organic interfaces, biological applications, micro-patterning, colloids, nanoparticles, functional devices, and many more. It is the desire of the authors that this book will be of benefit to readers who want to "brush-up on polymers".

The Wheel of Time First Read (Book 6 onward)
Book 8 Chapters 15-19
A blog by Hazeel in General
Entry posted by Hazeel · March 15, 2013
In this entry of my first reading of The Path of Daggers, Egwene finally overcomes the manipulations of the Sitters! This war is actually happening!
Chapter 15: Stronger than Written Law
Egwene has various dreams: of Rand in various masks, until one becomes him; of Perrin and a Tinker fighting their way off a cliff; and of Mat weighing two Aes Sedai, his decision monumental. Siuan awakens her. Egwene's headaches have only been successfully Healed by Halima. Bryne reports an army of Andorans and Murandians approaching from the north. Egwene has Bryne organize a meeting.
Egwene and Siuan discuss the importance of the Three Oaths, Siuan imploring that they remain instated, despite her lies about Logain and the Red Ajah. Egwene recognizes Siuan's romance with Bryne, and has her send Beonin, Anaiya, and Myrelle to the nobles. Egwene intends to become a successful Amyrlin, not a failure.
And thus we return to Egwene's storyline for a few chapters. I have to admit, I wasn't exactly thrilled by her section in ACoS, so I was tentative going into this. This chapter definitely shows off how slow the pace is in TPoD, but it still had a few interesting bits to it. Like I said, Egwene's plot has plenty of potential, and I'm curious to see where it goes. I'm just waiting for Aran'gar to strike, ha-ha.
Anyway, still can't decipher much of Egwene's dreams, although I assume Perrin's Tinker is Aram (yes, very perceptive of me). Rand's masks, I'm suspecting, are the various voices and madnesses in his head. Is Lews Therin going to consume him? I have no idea about Mat's Aes Sedai or what immense choice he has to make. Believe it or not, I almost forgot about Mat…
An army of Andorans and Murandians? As if this army's passage wasn't slow enough. I guess I can understand why Andor wouldn't want an army of Aes Sedai marching through, though. Still, prolonged plots for the lose!
Other than that, not much to say on this chapter. Pretty slow so far.
Chapter 16: Unexpected Absences
Egwene has Sheriam summon a meeting of the Hall. Once the Hall gathers, Egwene announces they will rest for a few days. She and Siuan study petitions from various Sitters relating to the financial problems. Egwene refuses to deprive the soldiers of their pay. She decides to learn more of the White Tower's history from Siuan, refusing to become a figurehead.
Aran'gar buries a servant's body in the snow, and thinks about dreams. She restrains from murdering the Aes Sedai on the Dark One's command.
Lelaine and Romanda, accompanied by Egwene's spies, approach the Amyrlin's tent. They discuss Rand's relations with the Sea Folk, in both Cairhien and Caemlyn. Once they leave, Siuan reveals the movement of soldiers south from Kandor. She also ruminates on a peculiar pattern amongst the Sitters, in that they are much too young. Romanda returns to the tent and orders siuan out. She chastises Egwene on the arranged meeting with the Andoran nobles, and orders her to permit her to speak. Lelaine replaces her and demands the same, having revealed Egwene's plot to the entire Hall. Egwene's plan is working.
Sheriam returns to her tent, and is suddenly shielded and beaten because of her ignorance. She regrets ever speaking to a sister in the Hall.
Wow, this was actually a great chapter, for an Egwene chapter. Some really interesting developments. Aes Sedai politics still confuse me, somewhat. I can't say I completely understand the significance of Sitters' ages or how exactly Egwene's plot is working, but it's interesting enough. So she intended for the entire Hall to know about the planned meeting with the Andoran army? Why?
More Sea Folk negotiations? Do not want! My god, they were annoying in the Elayne chapters, please no more. Didn't Rand already settle the Sea Folk embassy in Cairhien (or was that in Caemlyn)? It didn't seem to have much of a point. Do these Sea Folk have anything but attitude and selfishness to bring to the table, other than the Bowl? Why does Rand need them? It's not like with the Aiel, in which he had a reason to prove himself their champion. Argh.
I presume the army moving out of Kandor is one organized by that peculiar little Borderlander meeting in the prologue. I was wondering when we were going to hear about them again. Please let them be trying to help Rand, not complicate things further… Romanda and Lelaine are seriously annoying. Really. Their audacity in treating Egwene like that is pretty astonishing. I'm so glad Egwene's plan is apparently working, because it seems they're really imposing their manipulations on her.
But, of course, the most interesting part of this chapter was the Aran'gar portion(s). Did she kill one of Egwene's servants? That's what I understood… Really, I'm fascinated with whatever her orders were. She's serving Shaidar Haran directly, and obviously has a scheme, but hasn't been doing much since Lord of Chaos. But giving Egwene peculiar head massages and randomly killing a servant is certainly ominous. I can't wait until she finally strikes. I feel like we've seen Osan'gar already. Are their orders connected?
But furthermore, what the hell is Sheriam's deal? She's always been a slightly confusing and intriguing character, but I never suspected her of this. It really looks like Aran'gar was the one beating her. I mean, who else? If it was her, that must mean Sheriam is a Darkfriend (i.e. Black sister), right? That means nothing but trouble, considering Sheriam is sort of Egwene's confidant. Even if she's got nothing to do with the dark, she's obviously working against Egwene for whoever this tormentor is.
Chapter 17: Out on the Ice
Egwene and her party approach the lake where the meeting with the nobles is arranged. A thousand soldiers headed by Uno accompany her. Talmanes and several of his Redarms are also present. Sheriam introduces Arathelle, Pelivar, Aemlyn, and several Murandian nobles eager to have the Aes Sedai off their lands. The nobles speak of Aes Sedai and Tower Guards sneaking into Andor, and wish to avoid a conflict, therefore wanting the army away from the country.
Egwene disobeys Lelaine and Romanda, speaking for herself and promising not to enter Andor. She pledges to rest in Murandy for a month before departing. The Andorans consent to the agreement, but decide to remain to ensure none trespass into Andor. Egwene announces that women of any age are now welcome to become novices.
So I was definitely looking forward to this confrontation on the lake, and while it wasn't entirely thrilling, I'm surprised by how bearable these Egwene chapters have been. Sure, nothing entirely exciting, but given the general pace of TPoD, they're definitely more interesting than I would've expected.
Uno's back! I suppose he's been with Egwene's army the whole time? I don't, I sort of completely forgot about him since Lord of Chaos, but he's an awesome character and hope he sticks around. On a random note, Elaida is Murandian, right? Just judging from the names of the various Murandian nobles… Damn, they're mouthfuls.
The Aes Sedai and guards sneaking into Andor were sent by Elaida to attack the Black Tower, right? I remember that from ACoS's Prologue, I can't believe it's been a book and a half and we haven't heard more about that. They have to be nearing the Black Tower, right? Yeah, that raid is going to end up a complete disaster.
I have to admit, I love how Egwene just totally ignored Lelaine and Romanda and asserted herself. I can't wait to see how pissy they get next chapter. So this agreement of hers is rather confusing. Obviously, she was trying to placate the nobles, but just what is her plan, if she's not cutting through Andor? Why sit around in Murandy for a month again? I know Bryne wanted to give his soldiers a rest, but Tar Valon is nowhere nearby. Hmm, interesting.
Chapter 18: A Peculiar Calling
The nobles immediately start conversing with the Sitters, ignoring Egwene's authority. Romanda and Lelaine are infuriated, but cannot confront Egwene, being surrounded by nobles. Egwene manages to reach Talmanes, and the ensuing conversation is observed by Halima. The Murandians are submitting to the Andoran army in the hopes they leave eventually.
Talmanes explains to Egwene his (and the Band's) desire to aid Mat, as if he needed them in the south. She hints that Mat is on his way through Andor. Talmanes also wishes to remain in Murandy after the Aes Sedai depart, to help King Roedran for pay. Egwene reluctantly agrees, but encourages Talmanes not to start a war. The nobles continue to avoid Egwene, Pelivar seemingly neutral on the subject of Elayne's return. The Aes Sedai prepare to return.
So this was a more uneventful chapter, but pretty short, so not a big deal. It's quite frustrating how Egwene's authority is still undermined by that of the Sitters. I mean, not even a single noble respects her opinion and commands, flocking instead to the Sitters. It's sort of depressing that Egwene currently has little to show for her secret political wrangling with the Sitters, because when she acts independently, people automatically assume she's being ordered around. Damn, ageism is certainly prevalent in Randland, isn't it? Elayne and Nynaeve were experiencing the same thing in ACoS.
Talmanes is sort of an interesting character. I'm curious what he's going to be doing in Murandy. Murandy is one of those WoT nations we've had little experience with, like Arad Doman and the Borderlands (sans Shienar). Hopefully we'll learn a little more about them, although I'm not sure whether we need more complex political situations right now.
Egwene knows something about Mat, doesn't she? I mean, it's somewhat frustrating that he hasn't really been mentioned whatsoever in this novel, not even a word on his survival. Of course, we know he survived, but still. Elayne and Nynaeve probably relayed to Egwene that Mat was stranded in Ebou Dar, but they probably have no idea how real shit got over there. It's awesome that the Band has that kind of loyalty to Mat, and can sense when he's in trouble, and it's not awesome at all that they've been dissuaded from helping him, cause he certainly could use it.
Chapter 19: The Law
Egwene returns to the encampment with the Sitters. Delana and Halima converse in secret. Sheriam, on Egwene's command, summons the Hall forward. Egwene reflects on her romance with Gawyn when becoming irritated with Siuan. She interrupts Romanda and Lelaine during the private meeting, and calls for a vote to declare war on Elaida. Egwene chastises them when they continue to protest. Takima reluctantly cooperates in acting as the voice of law in the Amyrlin's capabilities.
At first, the Sitters are reluctant to vote affirmatively on the declaration of war. However, Moria's frustration with Lelaine spurs a string of votes, even from Lelaine herself. Takima cites that once war is declared, the Hall approves all of the Amyrlin's decrees. Egwene now has control over the Sitters. Delana vomits in distress. Egwene announces that the army will Travel after a month's rest to initiate the siege of Tar Valon.
Well, this is intriguing. There was a lot of build-up to this moment, the result of Egwene's plot against the Sitters, and the result was somewhat confusing. These political chapters can certainly get difficult to follow. But I do think I understand Egwene's plan now.
It's all piecing together. Using Takima as a source, she managed to pressure the Sitters into declaring war on Elaida (meaning the war effort is no longer tentative. This thing is actually happening!) and submitting to her authority. She managed to placate the concerned Andoran nobles, give Bryne his soldiers a proper rest, and Travel directly to Tar Valon. Damn, now that I think about it, this whole plan is very impressive. I'm sure some of the Sitters will continue to test her authority, but still.
Egwene finally calling out Romanda and Lelaine on their shit was awesome and quite cathartic. I'm wondering what Delana's deal is. How exactly is Halima controlling her? I'm curious, are they really gonna be capable of Traveling an entire army across Andor to the gates of Tar Valon? If it was that easy, why march through Altara and Murandy? Or did they just need to get a little closer?

Signs of Peace Reflect Action Toward a Collaborative Society
By Lorraine Glowczak,
Between 12:15 p.m. and 12:45 p.m. at the Windham rotary on April 21, signs of peace were held by individuals who are taking action with the intention and hope of moving toward a more unified society—honoring all varieties of perceptions in a diplomatic manner.
The signs included sentences such as: "Peace starts here," "Peace Now," and "Let there be peace." Last month, the signs invoked honking horns from passersby in agreement that the world could move in a more integrated direction.
This was the second of a monthly Peace Vigil that will continue to meet at the same time and place on the third Sunday of each month. Anyone who wishes to join this group of peace activists are welcomed to do so.
"As you know, the country is in a … (pausing to find the right word) … transformative place," is the term Jack Seery chose. He was one of the individuals holding the signs that Sunday afternoon. "We all have many opposing perspectives, which is healthy in a democratic culture. But somehow, as a society, we have managed to steer off course, civility speaking. This benefits no one. There are ways to support one another through collaborative efforts without being so divisive. Peace is one way to unify us and this is the purpose for this Peace Vigil."
Seery explained how it all began. Five years ago, members of the Unity Center for Spiritual Growth located on River Road in Windham (formerly known as Unity Church of Greater Portland) began studying the likes of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr as part of their "season of non-violence" examination.
"We read a series of books by Paul Chappell and studied peace and non-violence activists, Gandhi and King," Seery stated. "But after five years of the academic study about peace, we realized it was a time for action. We all agreed that we contemplated the issue enough. Instead, we needed to act on what we learned."
As a result, Unity has collaborated with other organizations including Saint Joseph's College of Maine, to bring in well-known speakers and non-violent activists to the area. One such event was published in an article written by The Windham Eagle Reporter, Elizabeth Richards, in March 2018—that of peace activist Father John Dear, who spoke on nonviolence at Saint Joseph's College and at Unity.
"Peace activism is one step toward non-violent communication and peace", stated Seery
In an online article regarding King and Gandhi's approach, written by Walter Earl Fluker, it explains the importance of peaceful activism:
"In Montgomery, King realized the power of nonviolent resistance to achieve his vision of community."
Fluker went on to state: "Before Montgomery, his [King's] understanding of nonviolence was confined to an abstract association of ideas and readings from his intellectual pursuits, but in the midst of the struggle he came to understand its power to effect change, both in society and within the votary him/herself. It is also important to understand that nonviolent resistance as a viable alternative for social change had been debated and attempted by the black leadership long before King emerged as a proponent of the method. Initially, the method of the movement which came to be called nonviolent resistance was conceived in the hearts of the black people of Montgomery as "Christian love."
King writes that: "From the beginning a basic philosophy guided the movement. . . . It was the Sermon on the Mount rather than a doctrine of passive resistance that initially inspired the Negroes of Montgomery to dignified social action. It was Jesus of Nazareth that stirred the Negroes to protest with the creative weapon of love."
And, that's the sole purpose (or perhaps the "soul" purpose) of the efforts of the Unity members who studied non-violent and peaceful approach to a chaotic society—a creative weapon of love and peace.
In terms of technicalities and to stand by their method of peaceful action, members of Unity stated they have reached out to determine if it was lawful to do what they deemed important. The Windham Eagle contacted Windham Chief of Police to verify. "As long as they are not impeding the flow of traffic, the individuals have the right to exercise their freedom of speech."
Legalities aside. "We have received a lot of honking horns in support of what we are doing and our role in a peaceful approach," Seery said.
As Gandhi has famously been quoted, "An eye for eye makes the whole world blind." King's response? "There is another way." Members of Unity may be following that other way.
If you are interested in joining this small group of peace enthusiasts, contact Seery by email at jseery53@gmail.com.

You know how important AIDS art is to the gay community. David Wojnarowicz has finally received his due at a major American museum. Felix Gonzales-Torres was at Zwirner, but they didn't talk about AIDS. There seems to be a constant struggle between AIDS and art. One doesn't know what to do with the other. Art seemed to help convalesce all sorts AIDS patients before their eventual deaths. The plague killed off all sorts of creatives and left mounds of detritus in the arms of lovers, communities… institutions.
Pacifico Silano is a lens-based artist, and for his latest show, he wanted to explore the nostalgia of the 70s. Pre-AIDS, post-war. Through re-photographing, fragmenting, obscuring, re-assembling, and re-contextualizing gay erotica from the time period, the artist set out to revitalize the irreverent innocence and naivety gay men were accustomed to before the plague attacked their livelihood. It is difficult not to place a devastation-lens atop works made during the epidemic, and it's harder to stare into a frame of gay europhia without thinking "oh, they don't know what is coming." We're a community still caught up in post-disaster. 'After Silence' organized by Nathan Storey Freeman at Stellar Projects hopes to consider the complex issues of our community with quiet meditations on various queer ephemera, identity and our evolving relationship to our colorful, taciturn past.
The exhibition is on view until July 27, 2018. Stellar Projects, 1 Rivington Street, NY, NY. Thursdays and Fridays 12:00PM-6:00PM.

Raiders First Round Picks Produce Mixed Results in Week 12
It was an ugly game for the Las Vegas Raiders this past Sunday in Atlanta. As for their first-round picks, it produced uneven results.
The Raiders were thoroughly humiliated by the Atlanta Falcons, that much isn't debatable. Be that as it may, there are always positives even the worse of defeats. While the score may not reflect it, the Raiders' defense showed improvement overall. Statistically speaking, according to Josh Dubow of the Associated Press, the Raiders' pass defense has improved, going from 31st with a 102.4 passer rating the last three years to ninth and 89.2 this season.
Here's a positive #Raiders defensive stat: They were 31st in passer rating allowed the past two years (102.4). They are 9th this season at 89.2
— Josh Dubow (@JoshDubowAP) December 1, 2020
Maybe those are baby steps but head coach Jon Gruden and the Silver and Black will take it. Just as it has taken time for the defense to develop, the same will hold true for rookies Henry Ruggs III and Damon Arnette.
Related: Some Major Concerns For Raiders Following Loss In Atlanta
Did Ruggs and Arnette Step Up For The Raiders In Week 12?
Pro Football Focus spotlighted the Raiders' first-round rookies and the results were mixed. Ruggs received a 57.2 overall grade, his on-field impact goes beyond stats but at some point, fans want to see some numbers. The trend is certainly looking positive despite the lopsided loss, Ruggs caught three passes for 56 yards on Sunday. He also could've added a touchdown to his stat sheet had he been able to put his foot on the white sideline before taking off as PFF pointed out.
Arnette also didn't fare much better grade-wise, he has a 50.7 overall after Week 12. The rookie suffered a concussion which meant he only totaled eight snaps, a setback both on the field and personally with that head trauma. PFF pointed out that he was targeted once before being taken out, having given up a 16-yard catch. Injuries are a part of the game and teams, for the most part, can't control them unless you're the Los Angeles Chargers.
For Arnette, to say his health has been the biggest issue isn't too far-fetched. A thumb injury, a concussion, and a Covid diagnosis have decimated a rookie campaign that many were excited for. Surrendering a 132.1 passing rating is concerning along with an 80 percent completion rate per PFF.
No one's calling these two youngsters busts by any stretch. Unfortunately, there are reasons to be concerned, especially with Arnette. We can only hope that both of these Raiders can continue to grow.

Right now it looks like an absolutely terrible draft. The Raiders could have picked Wirfs who had fallen to them in the first, then picked up Jefferson later in the first. That alone would have made it a great draft. Mayock tends to outthink himself in the draft.

So I saw a tweet on my timeline a bit earlier. I actually had to stop and think about this for a few minutes.
I'm not an atheist because I didn't receive love from my father. My father has been dead now for a little over 7 years and he was a great man in my view. He loved his children very much and displayed that love all the time.
In fact, it's most likely I am an atheist because of him. He escaped religion (he came from a very religious family) when he was drafted in WWII and never looked back. He never disparaged believers, at least openly, but I could always tell he thought religion was bunk, even as a child.
Although he never declared, at least in front of me, he was an atheist, and vice versa by the way. We both knew.
It's worse than that one tweet. Joy Overbeck has an entire column on the subject on Townhall.com. She quotes from a book by Prof. Paul Vitz, who gives us lots of anecdotal evidence showing how many famous atheists in history grew up without fathers. And of course all of the famous Christians in the piece had STRONG fathers.
What really frosts me is the constant references to "militant" atheists. Militant? Are we the ones ringing doorbells to hand out literature, or collaring people for donations outside of the supermarket or preaching on street corners?


Warm Season Grass Pasture Walk June 28, 2014 3 p.m.-8 p.m.
Join us for a pasture walk at the Hamilton Ranch in south-central Missouri. We will see not only warm season grasses, but our project of establishing 100+ native species for grazing. This is our first year of really grazing this diverse native planting since establishment, but we are excited about it and think that it can be better for grazing (some research we have read suggests 230% more production from diversity than the biomass king, switchgrass) and also better for wildlife (a different research project that has one year of research behind it suggests that controlled grazing of diverse natives can be better for quail than the best management that we knew how to do before). We are also excited about the prospects of soil health with this project.
If you plan to come, let us know so that we know how much food we need for supper. Don't follow computer or GPS derived direction to our place; rather get directions from our website http://www.hamiltonnativeoutpost.com/ .

The Central Bank of Nigeria has released the exposure draft for the regulatory requirements for non-bank merchants acquiring in Nigeria in furtherance of its mandate of enhancing the development of the electronic payment system in the country.
The regulator stated the requirements in its 'Exposure draft of regulatory requirements for non-bank merchant acquiring in Nigeria', to all Deposit Money Banks, mobile money operators, payment solution service providers, payment terminal service providers and other service providers.
"The objectives of this document are to establish non-bank acquiring as a regulated service and provide minimum standards and requirements for the operations of non-bank acquiring in Nigeria," it said.
The draft stated that the participants in non-bank acquiring in the country were the acquiring banks, card schemes, and non-bank acquirer.
On the risk management side, it stated that non-bank acquirers would develop and provide an appropriate governance structure to manage the risk inherent in the acquiring service.
It added that there must be documented and approved policies in place, which support the risk management function and also highlight the acquiring programme strategy, including targeted merchant segments, various entities/agents involved, their responsibilities, likely risks and mitigation procedures.
The CBN stated that non-bank acquirers must have the ability to perform due diligence before on-boarding new merchants, adding that merchant history as well as checks against various databases, credit reports, personal and business financial statements, and income tax returns of the business and their owners to determine if there were previous fraud, litigation, AML and high chargeback, among others.
According to the draft, non-bank acquirers must have a process to ensure adequate merchant agreements are effected.
It stated that non-bank acquirer must maintain adequate risk controls to monitor merchant activity to ensure compliance with the card scheme rules and prevent undue harm to the acquirer, customers and the card scheme.
The CBN stated that it would terminate a non-bank acquirer's licence based on failure to meet the conditions for renewal of the operating licence as a switch or TPP in Nigeria; dissolution of card association agreement; inability to maintain relationship with at least two card associations; operational failures that lead to significant losses/fraud; and any other reason(s) that might be determined by the apex bank from time to time.

I've been a customer of bt for over 2 years. I had by broadband which I was happy with. So much so I decided to opt for the full by service (tv, broadband and mobile). I took all of these together as each service discounet another. It was a great deal. As my broadband still had a few months to go I had to re entered a new 18 month agreement which I was happy with. A few months past without an issue. However, my bills starter shooting up (£30). I started to look through my account and it appeared that my broadband shot up. I called by and was told that as my broadband deal had ended I had to pay full price. As I said previous I signed up again for the deal. I even told bt I had the emails to show the contract I signed up for. They just would not listen to what I was saying. Eventually submitted I agreed to start the new contract, paying the full price for the previous month even though I should have been paying. Another month passed and the same thing happened this time it took even longer to tell my tale. Again, I had to sign up for broadband yet again. This time I received a credit for the previous months over charge. 3rd month became even more farcical. My bill was over double the last bill as they claimed I underpaid. The underpayment was the credit I was given. This time I was raging by this point. After over a combined total of 18 hours of phone calls I was passed from department to department with staff that didn't understand what I was taking about or the others didn't care!! I had had enough and told them to take everything back and cancel my account. I had to pay an over inflated final bill but it thought I can't take anymore of this nonsense and paid. Now I'm getting a letter saying I owe the same amount of money to break my contract AGAIN and if I don't pay my case will be sent to a debt collection agency. Can I take legal action on this as I can't get anywhere with bt and their multiple non communicative departments? I'm no becoming ill over the past few months with this circus.
I have notified the moderators of the forum about your problem. Once they have read this they may be able to help. They are a BT UK based team and if they can help they will reply via this thread asking you to contact them via a link. They are very busy at present so once you have replied to them by the link, it can take 48 hours for them to re-contact you.
As my broadband still had a few months to go I had to re entered a new 18 month agreement which I was happy with. A few months past without an issue. However, my bills starter shooting up (£30). I started to look through my account and it appeared that my broadband shot up.
When you took the BTTV service, did you renew the broadband at a new rate for 18 months ? because having BTTV means BT broadband is a requirement, so my guess is your broadband was renewed for 18 months but no new promotion was applied, which is why a few months later when the original promotion ended, you were then billed the standard rate without discount.
On your order confirmation for the BTTV service, does it also show you have a new promotion applied to the broadband separately with it's own ongoing monthly cost or does it simply state that you have renewed your broadband for 18 months ?
renewed my contract for 18 months of broadband with bt honouring £29.99.
My email led contract confirms all of ithis.
I am really sorry to see you have had such a tough time lately. 18 hours is a long time to be on the phone in total and I can definitely appreciate how that made you feel.
As you have been going round and round in circles and you're no further forward you can send us over your details and we'll give you a hand from here.
Under you're photo there is no link. Only an unfriend button.
Hi @Srdscott I left a message for you, sorry I missed you. I replied to you via email as I need a few more security details before I can get this investigated further. Please get back to me when you can, and we'll get this all sorted out for you.
Is there a way to contact you direct please?

Dell Docs Making House Calls
By Jennifer LeClaire
October 29, 2004 12:02 PM PT
Dell is working on its bedside manner, sending tech docs to the home front to help customers set up its branded flat-screen televisions, home networks and data security systems.
The fee-based in-home service is part of Dell's strategy to make a name for itself outside the desktop arena. The company began introducing consumer electronics last year and recently launched two 42-inch plasma-screen TVs.
Another reason for the amped-up services, Stephen Baker, the director of industry analysis at the NPD Group, told CRM Buyer, is a move by Dell to reduce the number of returns on its equipment. Baker said this is a general problem the industry faces with the sale of new, more complicated devices.
"If there's a way you can limit returns by servicing the customer and making sure they know what they get up front, but also giving them support after they get the product, you can save yourself a lot of money in return costs," Baker said.
"People are time starved, technology is more complex … and many customers need better help navigating through the digital landscape," Mike George, general manager of Dell's consumer business, said during a conference call Thursday.
"While we're doing well against our competitors, we want to make sure Dell is the best in customer service across all industries."
Dell already ranks high in PC customer service. The American Customer Satisfaction Index recently reported Apple's customers were only slightly more satisfied than Dell. Dell received a mark of 79.
The new IT services pave the way for more revenue for the computer maker. Not that the company is hurting. Dell's revenue in the second quarter was US$11.7 billion, a company record and 20 percent higher than in the same quarter a year ago.
Baker told CRM Buyer that Dell's primary motive is tapping into what the industry perceives as a profitable niche.
Revenue Enticement
"There's an impression right now in the marketplace that as we move toward convergence and digital technologies, people are going to pay more for services alongside the devices they buy," Baker said. "Everybody is out there looking at how they can access what everyone believes is an opportunity to generate more revenue."
That "everybody" includes HP, Best Buy and CompUSA. While Baker said the perceived opportunity is not paying major dividends today, these companies are preparing for the future predicted boom.
The current challenge, said Baker, is consumer price perceptions. Some people wonder why they have to pay $100 to set up $120 worth of networking equipment or pay $150 a year for virus protection on a computer that costs $700. And, Baker noted, it's hard to compete on the price of the human capital required to provide the services.
Dell's customer service upgrades are two-pronged. First, users can access in-depth advice and technical support on a wide range of topics through Dell's online Solutions Center. Even non-Dell customers can use the service for technical information.
The headline-making service, however, is the house calls. George said $169 sends a Dell technician to your living room to install a new plasma television and related components.
This service enhancement news comes in the same week as Dell's official announcement of its new Oklahoma City customer contact center. The company will build a 120,000-square-foot facility on a 60-acre site. The facility should be completed next summer.

Uber wants even more customer data – EPIC asks FTC to slam on the brakes
24 Jun 2015 1 Law & order, Privacy
Previous: US Navy pays millions to cling to Windows XP
Next: NOT OK, Google! Privacy advocates take on the Chromium team and win…
A leading privacy group has asked the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to put the brakes on Uber's upcoming new privacy plan – a plan that sets the ride-hailing app maker up to collect even more customer data than it already does.
The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) filed a 23-page complaint on Monday in which it notes that the new User Privacy Statement, set to go into effect on 15 July, says the company will try to collect location data on users even when the app is running in the background.
From the new policy:
When you use the Services for transportation or delivery, we collect precise location data about the trip from the Uber app used by the Driver. If you permit the Uber app to access location services through the permission system used by your mobile operating system ("platform"), we may also collect the precise location of your device when the app is running in the foreground or background. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address.
Another change to Uber's privacy policy is that the company may also ask for access to a user's contact list and then send marketing promotions to users' contacts.
Not to worry, Uber's Managing Counsel of Data Privacy Katherine Tassi said in a recent post: users are still "in control":
In either case, users will be in control: they will be able to choose whether to share the data with Uber.
Tassi said that tracking passengers in real time and accessing users' address books are merely "potential new use cases" of Uber's customer data.
Users will be firmly in control, she reiterated:
We are not currently collecting this data and have no plans to start on July 15. ... If we decide to ask for these permissions, users will be in control and choose whether they want to share the data with Uber.
EPIC calls these assurances deceptive. In fact, the group said in its complaint, the updated policy will actually deprive users of control.
As far as the location data goes, Uber's collection of precise location information when the app is operating in the background means that on iOS phones, Uber may be able to collect location data even after a user quits the app.
Even if a user disables the GPS location services on their phone, Uber may still collect approximate location from riders' IP addresses, EPIC says – a fact that runs counter to Uber's claims that users are in control.
When it comes to Uber getting its hands on users' contact lists for marketing purposes, the FTC has already received complaints from "People who have never driven for or even used the service", according to Motherboard, but who said that they're still being deluged with text messages from Uber and have been unable to make them stop.
EPIC lists a hosts of user complaints about the frequency of the spam, the difficulty of unsubscribing, and the fact that users never gave their permission to have their contacts' details shared.
One such, from user DanielMiami:
This is disturbing, my girl just text me saying she received a text message from uber [sic] saying I invited her to become a driver.
"UberMSG: Congratulations! Your friend Daniel wants you to be an Uber partner. Both of you can make money when you APPLY HERE: t.uber.com/cashec"
1. How did they get her phone number?
2. That's not even my referral promo code
Do they have access to our contact list in our phones?
Beyond these upcoming privacy policy changes and the extra data Uber will be getting, the company already has a lousy reputation for misusing data, EPIC said in its complaint, outlining a long, messy history that's included, among other things:
Sharing customers' movements with a big hotel chain, just like a Big Data mogul;
Giving a job applicant access to customer data for an entire day,
Displaying its so-called "God view" of customers for entertainment at a launch party,
Looking up a journalist's private trip info (twice) because she was late, and
Gleefully detailing how it tracks users' one-night stands – or what it calls "Rides of Glory".
Marc Rotenberg, the executive director of EPIC, told the New York Times that, given its history of mishandling data, Uber hasn't earned the right to collect even more:
A company that has a bad reputation for misusing personal information should not be allowed to change its policy so it can gather more data.
EPIC's complaint asks the FTC to halt Uber's collection of any customer location details not required to deliver a service; to require Uber to delete location information once a ride has been completed; and to require Uber to publish specific details about the system it uses to profile and evaluate customers.

One comment on "Uber wants even more customer data – EPIC asks FTC to slam on the brakes"
I thought about using Uber when I was in San Diego, CA, a couple of weeks ago and my truck was being worked on after I blew out the front shocks on the Baja500 racecourse, but I flagged down a taxi instead.
I won't consider using Uber again, ever! It seems there are always ulterior motives these days.

YMCA HUMBER is calling on the local community to openly talk about mental health and tackle stigma, as part of Mental Health Awareness Week (8-14 May).
The local youth charity, which works with 300 young people across North East Lincolnshire provides a range of mental health services, including the Reaching Your Potential programme.
To raise awareness of mental health and to break the stigma that often prevents young people from seeking help, YMCA Humber is asking the local community to talk about mental health and signpost young people to the charity's services for help.
Malcolm Smith, Chief Executive of YMCA Humber, said: "Giving young people support from an early age can stop the escalation of mental health difficulties at a later stage, but we know from speaking to young people that stigma often prevents them from seeking help.
"Mental Health Awareness Week is a great opportunity for each and every one of us to do our bit to tackle stigma by talking about mental health openly, without using harmful language and without judgement.
"Our approach over the past 135 years has always focused on young people's mind, body and spirit which is why we have a range of different services, empowering young people to manage their mental health day in and out for a happy and fulfilling life.
To help people start a conversation about mental health, the charity has put together a few tips on what to say, and what not to say, when talking to someone with mental health difficulties. The guide was produced with the help of young people from Right Here project in Brighton and Hove.
YMCA Humber is part of the wider national YMCA federation that, in total, provided 17,360 people with mental health advice and counselling services in the last year.
In partnership with the NHS, YMCA England & Wales launched the #IAMWHOLE campaign last year to tackle mental health stigma after the charity's research revealed 70% of young people who have suffered stigma because of their mental health difficulties are less likely to talk about their experiences.
Nationally, it also provides a range of mental health services and in 2015/16 ran the Mental Health Champions programme that delivered more than 4,000 awareness sessions across the country.
To find out more about what the YMCA does to help in your community, visit them on social media – Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Q: Javascript/Jquery-UI make reusable function that checks if dateTo is after dateFrom I have 2 datepickers. #datepicker0 and #datepicker1 and the following code to check if the date_from is after date_to:
$('#datepicker0').datepicker({
  dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'
});

var valeDate = {
  dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
  onSelect: function() {
    if ($('#datepicker0').val() > $(this).val()) {
      alert("Date problem");
      $(this).val(null)

    }

    $(this).change();
  }
}

$("#datepicker1").datepicker(valeDate).on("change", function() {
  display("Change event");

I would like to remove the parameter #datepicker0 from the onSelect function in order to make the function reusable.
Could anyone show me how to make it?

A: function validateDate(datepicker, value) {
   if (value > datepicker.val()) {
       alert("Date problem")
       datepicker.val(null)
   }
   datepicker.change()
}

var valeDate = {
  dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
  onSelect: function() {
      validateDate($(this), $('#datepicker0').val())
  }
}

Next time, please address questions like this (everything works but code require modifications) to code review (https://codereview.stackexchange.com/)

A: finally i used this code:
function datepickerValidator(startDate,endDate) {
   var datepickerFrom = startDate;
   var datepickerTo   = endDate;

// returns the millisecond obtained from the string 'dd-mm-yy'
   function getTimeMillis(dateString) {
      var splittedFrom = dateString.split("-");
      var day = splittedFrom[0];
      var month = splittedFrom[1];
      var year = splittedFrom[2];
      var dateTmp = new Date(year + "-" + month + "-" + day);
      var timeMillis = dateTmp.getTime();
    return timeMillis;
}

var validateDatePickerOption = {dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy',
        onSelect: function() {
            from = getTimeMillis(datepickerFrom.val());
            to = getTimeMillis($(datepickerTo).val());
            if ( from > to )  {
                alert("Date problem: value 'To' must be after 'From'");
                $(this).val(null)
                }
            }
        }
 return validateDatePickerOption;
}

and for each datepicker:
var from = $("#From");
var to = $("#To");
var datepickerOption = datepickerValidator(from,to);
from.datepicker(datepickerOption);
to.datepicker(datepickerOption);

The Efficiency Maine Trust offers a broad portfolio of efficiency programs for residential and commercial customers under its well-recognized Efficiency Maine brand. The Trust creates three-year energy efficiency programs, known as a Triennial Plan, which are overseen by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC).
Maine's fourth Triennial Plan for the program years of 2020-2021was approved by the PUC in May, 2019 and updated to its current state in December, 2019. The plan reflects a balancing of the following priorities in its allocation of the budget and design of programs: acquiring resources, transforming the market, maintaining fairness, leveraging the private sector, and reducing environmental impacts of energy. Efficiency Maine continues to deliver a successful suite of programs, with an emphasis on new heating equipment, including heat pumps. Efficiency Maine also offers a variety of financing products to help residential customers bridge the gap and implement cost-effective measures.
Governor Janet Mills took office in January, 2019 and has since made climate change a priority by signing a number of bills to reduce the state's energy usage and emissions. In her first 100 days she announced bill S.P. 550 - L.D. 1679 An Act To Promote Clean Energy Jobs and To Establish the Maine Climate Council. This bill establishes the creation of a new committee, the Maine Climate Change Council, to develop climate action plans. The bill also creates a roadmap for reducing emissions to achieve an 80% reduction below 1990 levels by 2050 with an interim goal of 45% by 2030.
In June, 2019 Governor Janet Mills signed into law LD 1766 "An Act To Transform Maine's Heat Pump Market To Advance Economic Security and Climate Objectives" which establishes the goal of installing 100,000 cold climate air-source heat pumps. Maine uses more heating oil per capita than any other state. The adoption of a heat pump is expected to save customers $300-$600 per year per home in heating expenses.
The latest energy planning documents include the Comprehensive Energy Plan Update from 2015 and the Efficiency Maine Trust Annual Report covering FY 2019.
Complementary Policies
Building energy benchmarking ordinances have traditionally been enacted only in major cities across the country. Northeast cities such as New York City, Philadelphia, and Boston have been leaders when it comes to the adoption of benchmarking policies. South Portland, Maine on the other hand, is a very small community and has implemented a benchmarking ordinance that went into effect in January 2017. This is the smallest community (at the time of adoption) to require benchmarking of building energy use. The first required reporting was due May 1, 2018 with annual reporting thereafter. This ordinance covers municipal, public, residential, and non-residential buildings.
Maine is currently on the 2009 IECC for residential building codes and the 2006 IECC - ASHRAE 90.1-2007 optional for commercial. Recently passed bill LD1509 requires the Technical Building Codes and Standards Board to amend the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code so as to be consistent with the most recent edition of the International Energy Conservation Code published by the International Code Council, as well as the most recent edition of the International Mechanical Code published by the International Code Council.

Located approximately 50 miles south of Chicago, Cinder Ridge has enough fun and unique characteristics that help it stand out from the crowd and warrant the lengthy drive.
Designed by business owner George Kappos, with no previous experience in golf course architecture, this 18-hole layout sits on land that used to be strip mine territory. What Kappos created is nothing short of remarkable, especially considering the previous condition of the land and his lack of experience.
Featuring numerous doglegs and elevation changes, Cinder Ridge requires constant shot assessment and common sense thinking. This is less of a grip-and-rip style course and more of a tactical battle.
With nearly 70 sand bunkers along with water that appears on 14 of the 18 holes, choosing where to miss is usually imperative on this challenging layout.
The par-3 16th is the signature hole, featuring a peninsula green guarded by bunkers, water and trouble just about everywhere. The tee and green are both elevated so the shot requires a nerve-wracking carry over water.
This hole is a great example of the courageous design that owner Kappos created. It's a perfect example of how sometimes the love of the game can overcome just about anything.

Q: Unable to apply background color to a login box when a background image is used in the body tag On my login page, I have a background image attached to the body tag. On top of this image, I have a login box. But somehow I am not able to get a   background color to the login-box via class "bground_box" which i have applied to the div tag as shown below.
This is my css / html code.

App Login

     <form action="login.php" method="POST"  autocomplete="off" >

 UserName
              <input type="text" class="form-control" id="uname" name="uname" placeholder="Enter Your UserName">

 UserPassword
              <input type="password" class="form-control" id="upwd" name="upwd" placeholder="Enter Your Password">

           <button type="submit" name="login_button" class="btn btn-primary btn-block">Login</button>
     </form>

Note - the solid white border appears nicely around the login box. That part works. Just CANT get a background color in the login box

A: is the problem occuring because you have 2 hashtags before the background color's hex value

A: SOLVED by using !important on .bground_box  background-color. This allows an override of the image background. Thanks.


According to Area 17, Firm s constitution is a paper consisting of short articles of organization and also unique resolutions. Relating To Version Articles, Area 18 as well as Area 20 claim that business need to have short articles of organization as well as it is business s option to pick Design Articles as their write-ups of organization and also exclusive business are licensed to entirely or partially leave out Version Articles in their procedures.
According to Area 33, it is compulsory for the firm and also its participants to adhere to constitution after company formation UK has actually been done and also its stipulations similarly as they comply with any kind of agreement therefore constitution has a placement of lawful kind of agreement and also is likewise called Area 33 agreement.
Pertaining to the enforcement of Area 33 agreement there are 3 scenarios, firm can implement participants to follow it, participants can apply a firm to adhere to or participants can apply various other participants. Outsiders can not apply business to follow it.
Prior to establishing a firm UK, you require to understand what is a constitution. In this post we will certainly take an appearance at firm s constitution discovering its lawful influence in information sustained by the instance researches to offer visitor a suggestion regarding the applicability of write-ups stated in company constitution.
As a participant, individuals just have appropriate to apply by/against Area 33 in their capability as a participant. The disagreement in between the 2 individuals having subscription can not be resolved by firm s posts and also need to be arranged out under business s partnership. If it is feasible for a participant to implement a firm to follow its write-up, after that write-ups can be implemented by/ versus to implement an outsider s.
* Case-3 V AG Belize v Belize Telecommunications  Under some write-ups, investors can purchase shares which enable them to designate 2 supervisors. Currently the inquiry was that the supervisor assigned by him will abandon their placement or not?
Relating To Version Articles, Area 18 and also Area 20 claim that business need to have write-ups of organization as well as it is firm s option to select Design Articles as their posts of organization as well as exclusive business are accredited to totally or partially leave out Version Articles in their procedures. C a participant in a business filed a claim against a business on the basis that firm is not registering his lamb despite of the truth that he is qualified to sign up. Out of them one made a decision refer to treatment as well as took legal action against various other yet the conflict matters outside the business s connection can not be type out by business s posts.
These agreements are a means of implementing some terms as well as short articles not stated in constitution as well as can restrict outsiders applying write-ups. Business has actually write-ups associated with the income of supervisors. These short articles can be applied by indicating different agreements.
There are a number of policies for analysis of posts. The court will just suggest terms right into short articles based upon outside proof. The exterior proof we indicate, the write-up s plan as well as the realities recognized by the 3rd parties.
Area 33 agreement is various from a regular agreement as its short articles can not be changed as a result of blunder, false impression, impact or discomfort. The study connected with the ramification of write-ups.
* Case-1 V Towcester Racecourse v Racecourse Organization  An individual said that under the indicated write-ups questions versus any kind of participant is open to all various other participants as well as supervisor is accountable to participants for the violation of task. Supervisors do not have obsession on them to owe suggested authority to participants since they function on business part and also not participants and also they wear t have a legal partnership with participants.
* Case-1: (Enforcement by a Business versus Participant).
C a participant in a firm took legal action against a firm on the basis that business is not registering his lamb despite of the reality that he is qualified to sign up. C suggested that as this disagreement has no link with his organization with a business as a participant, treatment provision does not use in this circumstance yet in fact, the issue was associated with subscription. The outcome of this instance is that Firm took a remain on the instance since treatment policy used there in contrast to C s declare as this was the issue in between business.
A taking care of supervisor A had the authority to ban the choices taken by the business concerning the residential or commercial property issues while taking care of supervisor B acting contrary to A by passing of normal resolutions by investors allow the firm to deal in residential or commercial property issues. Therefore judgment was passed to stay away firm from dealing in firm issues.
According to Lord Wedderburn, participants have a right to accept firm s any type of short article which is in contrast to Hickman s sight according to which participant has authority to require the firm to comply with the posts discussed in constitution. Davies recommended that Lord Wedderburn relating to participant s best to promote any kind of post can indirectly provides him authority to accept outsider right and also Lord Wedderburn s method provide a participant an extra authority to breach the write-ups.
Due to the fact that he was a non-member as the time of case he might not be provided the exact same civil liberties as outsider as a participant under posts since short articles have lawful worth in between participants. C and also D being participants of a firm had a conflict over purchase issue. Out of them one made a decision refer to treatment and also filed a claim against various other however the conflict matters outside the business s connection can not be type out by firm s short articles.
* Case-2 V Bratton Seymour Solution v Oxborough  C said that court must suggest short articles associated with maintain feature location in home advancement yet the court can not suggest write-ups based upon the truths which were recognized by much less individuals to prevent any kind of bias to 3rd parties.
There are additionally some inner abnormalities related to the constitution since there exist some posts in constitution which give civil liberties to participants yet in real they produce task on firm s component and also their violation produces interior abnormalities on business s component suggests that business has even more right to case as opposed to the participant in situation of violation. Inner abnormalities are related to the posts interesting in agreements and also conferences. There are various sights pertaining to the issue of interior abnormalities.
As a supervisor, he obtains power from short articles as well as write-ups enable to suggest agreements which offer him legal rights to act versus business yet not commitments. As well as with participants they do not have legal connection with participants and also they just owe task to business and also they can not indicate legal tasks to participants.
There are additionally some inner abnormalities linked with the constitution since there exist some posts in constitution which give legal rights to participants yet in real they produce task on firm s component and also their violation develops inner abnormalities on business s component indicates that firm has even more right to case instead than the participant in instance of violation. According to Lord Wedderburn, participants have a right to authorize firm s any type of short article which is in contrast to Hickman s sight according to which participant has authority to require the firm to adhere to the posts discussed in constitution.
